Well, yeah. Avatar has to be good world building. But what's the point if it wastes it on a mid story with bad plot?

World building isn't enough on its own? You can't just put on the movie and hang out in this place for a while?

Apparently not. People here act all high and mighty when it comes to movies doing well with general audiences. Watch, in just a couple years we'll get posts on Lemmy saying "the Avatar movies were actually pretty good, I don't understand the hate" just like on reddit.

This community is turning into r/movies every goddamn day, where any time someone posts an article or something about a popular movie most of the community feels the need to jump on a hate bandwagon and act like their own farts are better moviegoing experiences.

Of course not. Unless they release the wild life documentary of Pandora.
